“The Emigrants’ Blues” – new single from Tommy Keyes
“The Emigrants’ Blues” is the new single from veteran singer-songwriter Tommy Keyes,
officially releasing on 26 August but available for immediate airplay. It’s the third single
from the forthcoming album Radio Days – the first two singles, “Any Other World” and
“Radio Days” both made no 1 in the iTunes singer-songwriter charts and got hundreds of
radio plays.
“The Emigrants’ Blues” has a strong folk influence in both style and subject matter.
According to Jackie Hayden of Hot Press, “the banjofied, folksy ‘The Emigrants' Blues’
evokes the gutsy honesty of Luke Kelly and the harmonica adds a touch of St Bob”.
The song evokes the hard lives of the Irishmen who worked on construction sites
throughout the world in the 20 th century, their “days filled with sweat and nights filled with
booze”. See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRYvymY6NxQ
Its waltz-like rhythm and memorable chorus make this an ideal song for radio play.
